Otoliths are calcified structures and the information contained within their chemistry or shape
can be used to infer life history events, migration patterns, and stock structure of a fish …

Morphometric analysis of biogenic recording structures within marine organisms has
applications in stock assessment, taxonomics, and ecomorphological studies, with shape …

Otolith shape variation of seven Atlantic herring Clupea harengus populations from Canada,
